'Water Lover' oil on canvas 24 x 30

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

I approached this painting from a completely differentangle. I am very fortunate that the views from my studio are stunning to say the least. One afternoon this week Iwas sitting having a coffee and enjoying the view from my balcony and noticed the late afternoon light sparklingon the bay almost three miles away. Not for the first timeI grabbed my binoculars and began studying the sceneand thought I need to paint this. Rather than set up mywhole kit I grabbed a small canvas loaded a brush with my usual mix of thinner and oil paint for the preliminarysketch and sat back down outside and began sketching using the binoculars. Then back in the studio I began to paint going back outside to look at the scene againfrom time to time through the binoculars.Not sure how many others have done this but it was a first for me.Oil on canvas 6 x 8.Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated!Jeffrey~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you would like to purchase this paintingplease email me for information.jjboronart@shaw.ca~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Click here to view my gallery of paintings!**

~The Artists Life~
When you chose to live the life of an artist/
You wish upon stars while splashed with moonlight/
Sing while dancing to songs you alone can hear/
Row a small dory alone high upon open ocean swells/
Yet invite the world to see.
